*The Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is a cargo warship in the way old galleons were. Heavily armed and armoured, slow and usually containing a valuable cargo, this is one of the Moncloa-Class freighters used for oceanic travelling at the seas of a distant planet settled by humans from all over Earth, who migrated long ago from their homeworld into the cosmos for a better place to live.

*The Moncloa-Class was designed as a response to the constant corsair and pirate attacks from other colonies to the defenseless, unarmed freight convoy groups crossing several thousand miles at a time in the vast, unexplored oceans of Atlantum, that new Earth-like planet humans colonized and started living on.

*The Moncloa-Class is characterized by a heavy armor ring all over the ship's hull (510mm thick solid steel), an armoured ramming ring at the ship's prow (700mm thick), anti-boarding and anti-torpedo nets and a seriously nasty weapon capacity:

*120mm naval cannon x1 (2 rear-facing turrets, 2 front-facing turrets at the sides) (720 rounds)
*40mm Bofors auto cannon x1 (for anti-aircraft, anti-PT boat and anti-boarding purposes) (1780 rounds)
*20mm Mk. IKA auto cannon x2 (AA purposes) (2000 rounds)
*Capacity for up to 190 small firearms for the 56 men crew (rifles, machine guns, pistols) and ammunition
*150 depth charges

*All of that is designed so that the ship can repel or pursuit/destroy enemy ships and submarines on its own, not being dependant on warship or plane escort for protection. Despite that, the Moncloa galleons usually travel in tight convoy formation escorted by light destroyers and fast torpedo vessels. In their month-long journeys they act as a bridge between nations thousands of miles separated apart, so it's not uncommon to see various Moncloa class ships sealing under different country's flags but together with others, with the only objective to carry goods and people from opposite corners of the new world, Atlantum.

*A recent register of the LaForet, sister ship of the Nuestra Sra. de la Soledad, gives an idea of why this modern galleons are such a succulent objetive for pirates, corsairs and privateers. The LaForet's hold was loaded with:

*270 tons of gold.
*12035 silver ingots.
*6kg of high-grade purity platinum.
*2 tons of industrial copper.
*130 hand-made swords.
*500 top-notch hand-made porcelain vases.
*2 high-tech topedoes given by an allied nation for reverse engineering.
*300 Type-80 rifles without ammunition.
*1 Type 17-O light howitzer tank from said allied nation.
